The Kyoto University Office of Institutional Advancement and Communications strives to return the benefits of academic research to society, tackling increasingly complex global challenges and creating new value.
Our vision of "Collaboration" extends beyond joint research with corporations and technology transfer. It encompasses industry-academia co-creation that bridges cutting-edge research and industry, the strategic use of intellectual property, and the creation and incubation of startups driving social transformation. It also embraces diverse and interconnected relationships with Kyoto University alumni active around the world, as well as with local communities and civil society.
Through an open innovation ecosystem that brings together people from diverse background and enables knowledge to flow freely, we aim to realize a sustainable society in which people can lead fulfilling lives.
